Senseless Violence Strikes The Music Industry Again As Rapper Mo-G Beaten Up By Drake's Entourage Over Ghostwriting Claims

Drake

There is a problem with violence in the
music industry. People have been beaten, shot and in some
cases killed by industry rivals. Recently, Toronto rapper,
Mo-G posted videos on Instagram stating Drake and his
collective OVO were asking him for music and paying him very
little money. Shortly after, Mo-G deleted the videos and
posted a photo of his face beaten bloody with the caption
"This is what happens when you speak your heart." The
implication online is Drake's entourage beat up Mo-G up.

Previously, Quentin Miller, was outed as
Drake's ghostwriter, which turned into a bitter
public dispute with rival rapper, Meek Mill. In 2014, two
groupies from Instagram also accused Drake of threatening
them. One of the women stated Drake sent thugs from his
entourage to her apartment and they threatened her for
speaking out about having sex with him. Violence and
intimidation have nothing to do with music. Drake is a teen
actor from a pop type show, who became a rapper. No need to
try to live up to an image created in the music. It always
leads to trouble.

people, because today Mo-G posted a picture of his face
after getting severely beaten. “This is what happens when
you speak your heart,” he caption the above picture with.

In a viral video posted to his Instagram
account weeks ago, Mo-G puts Drake and his associate Oliver
El-Khatib on blast, airing out what many have heard in the
past: OVO uses ghostwriters. But according to Mo-G, penning
hits is one thing and being compensated for his work is
another. “Have you ever heard in hip-hop that mad niggas
waste creativity? They make hits but never get a dollar for
it, one credit for it,” he said in the videos, which have
since been deleted...
